Key Takeaways: NoC challenges, such as wiring congestion, timing closure, and performance, must be considered in tandem with topology and placement. Topologies can be customized to meet an application’s specific data flow needs, with a system containing multiple topologies to suit different data or zones. What is challenging for one type of system, such as … Read more
Key Takeaways AI/ML and agentic tools are getting better at helping design and compile FPGAs, but downstream programming is slower to benefit. FPGAs historically have been designed using Verilog or VHDL, but higher-level languages could push more intelligence into compilers. ML tools can also help with mixed-signal co-design by automatically tuning DSP algorithms based on … Read more
Systems & Design SPONSOR BLOG Tightly coordinated data movement and low-latency on-chip storage for real-time environments. The race to build smarter and faster AI chips continues to surge. This is especially true in autonomous vehicles that interpret the world in milliseconds, edge accelerators that push trillions of operations per second, hyperscale data-center processors that drive … Read more
